Attoscience and Ultrafast Optics

OURRESEARCH

Attosecond X-ray Science

We generate attosecond pulses in the soft X-ray spectral range (200 eV and higher) to probe the flow of energy at the absorption edges of materials.

Extreme Photonics

We study the interaction of intense light fields with matter via physical phenomena such as filamentation, solid harmonic generation or X-wave generation.

Quantum Dynamics

We investigate electron dynamics to understand how a molecule dissociates or how a chemical reaction occurs; electrons sustain human vision and our nerve system, and they determine whether biological life ends.

Ultrafast Laser Science

Our focus is on the generation of mid-infrared few-cycle and CEP-stable intense sources at high repetition rates beyond the kHz, thereby pushing the limits of average laser power.
